Herman Cain, who’s security team manhandled multiple reporters recently, became the first GOP candidate to receive Secret Service protection in this election cycle–and Cain’s spokesman, J.D. Gordon said skirmishes with journalists prompted the decision, The Washington Post reported.

“Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon said Thursday night that the campaign asked for the protection after The Washington Post posted an article online that morning detailing a series of physical skirmishes involving journalists at Cain rallies.”

As I read the memorandum in front of me, I am amazed how blind Americans are, how na�ve, ignorant, credulous, and unable to discern fact from fiction, reality from fantasy. How much more proof do they need before they realize our country is on the path of purposeful destruction?

Service Employees International Union (SEIU), with its 2.1 million dues paying members had announced on November 16, 2011, “with great pride and a sense of purpose,” that they were endorsing President Barack Obama for re-election.

“President Obama is the only candidate for president who shares our vision of America as a land of opportunity for everyone. We need a leader willing to fight for the needs of the 99 percent, and stand with hard working families to say that the world’s wealthiest corporations must pay their fair share.”EXCERPT ~ SEE READER COMMENTS, Etc.....*****

The Constitutional requirement for President is “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be ELIGIBLE to the Office of President;…”

Note the Constitutional distinction of “natural born Citizen” and “Citizen.” The paramount question is “why would the founders make this distinction if it was not meaningfully important”?

In the case, Minor v. Happersett (1874), Minor, a woman, wanted to register to vote in the federal Presidential election and was denied registration because of her gender.....EXCERPT*****

Prepare Yourself for Obama’s Second Term (Maybe we should fear a repeat of 1996…)

For some time now, many conservatives have thought that President Obama is the Second Coming of Jimmy Carter.

They think that chronic 9% unemployment, creeping inflation, and a foreign policy of self-abasement and weakness will doom Obama to a single term, and that he’ll slink off with his tail between his legs in disgrace, just like Carter did after 1980.

Maybe they should be thinking about the election of 1996 instead.....

Alan West says that the media needs to stop being afraid of standing up to Obama. I’m thinking that Col. West has this wrong.

There are two dynamics going on here. One is that elements of the DC and NYC press corps (pronounced corpse) are in love with Obama, not afraid of him. Don’t forget that Evan Thomas of Newsweek referred to Herr Ruler as “sort of a God.”

Remember also Terry Moran of ABC news who told us that Obama is so hugely wonderful and amazing that he actually had to “step down” to the White House.....EXCERPT*****

With Global Unrest and Militarized Police, Where Do You Go To Escape? by Jamie Douglas

These days, living in the United States and having a questioning mind is becoming more and more hazardous, forcing many of us to consider our options as to where we might want to spend the next few years.

While no country is perfect, it is the continuous erosion of rights that has made many Americans look at options available in living abroad, because the increasing militarization of the police forces has frightening fascist overtones.

There are more Americans afraid of their own government today than there ever have been… and justifiably so!.....EXCERPT*****
